Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • Botany

Jan V. Colpaert mainly investigates Botany, Mycorrhiza, Ectomycorrhiza, Phytotoxicity and Suillus luteus. His Botany research is mostly focused on the topic Mycelium. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ecotype and Metal pollution, Pollution.

His Ectomycorrhiza research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Basidiomycota, Forest management, Ecology, Suillus variegatus and Paxillus involutus. His Phytotoxicity research incorporates elements of Environmental chemistry, Soil contamination, Endophyte and Plant physiology. His Suillus luteus study incorporates themes from Genetic variability, Suillus bovinus, Genetic variation and Pisolithus.

His most cited work include:

  • Convergent losses of decay mechanisms and rapid turnover of symbiosis genes in mycorrhizal mutualists. (527 citations)
  • Engineered endophytic bacteria improve phytoremediation of water-soluble, volatile, organic pollutants (452 citations)
  • The cellular redox state as a modulator in cadmium and copper responses in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings. (242 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Botany, Suillus luteus, Mycorrhiza, Ectomycorrhiza and Mycelium are his primary areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Nutrient, Suillus bovinus, Symbiosis and Paxillus involutus in addition to Botany. His Suillus luteus research includes elements of Basidiomycota, Ecology, Gene and Yeast.

His Mycorrhiza research also works with subjects such as

  • Phytotoxicity that connect with fields like Environmental chemistry and Soil contamination,
  • Agronomy, which have a strong connection to Bioremediation. His research in Ectomycorrhiza focuses on subjects like Scots pine, which are connected to Ectosymbiosis. His studies deal with areas such as Shoot and Agar as well as Mycelium.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (43.97%)
  • Suillus luteus (29.31%)
  • Mycorrhiza (25.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Suillus luteus (29.31%)
  • Botany (43.97%)
  • Genetics (8.62%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Suillus luteus, Botany, Genetics, Gene and Fungus are his primary areas of study. The concepts of his Suillus luteus study are interwoven with issues in Local adaptation, Yeast and Copy-number variation. His Yeast study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mycorrhiza and Mutant.

His work blends Botany and Total error studies together. His Fungus research focuses on subjects like Pinus , which are linked to Pathogen, Abundance and Host. His work deals with themes such as Reactive oxygen species, Nutrient, Mycorrhizal fungi and Transcriptome, which intersect with Symbiosis.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Ectomycorrhizal Fungal Protein Degradation Ability Predicted by Soil Organic Nitrogen Availability (15 citations)
  • A novel, highly conserved metallothionein family in basidiomycete fungi and characterization of two representative SlMTa and SlMTb genes in the ectomycorrhizal fungus Suillus luteus (14 citations)
  • Diversity of Ligninolytic Enzymes and Their Genes in Strains of the Genus Ganoderma: Applicable for Biodegradation of Xenobiotic Compounds? (14 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • Botany

Jan V. Colpaert mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Yeast, Suillus luteus, Gene and Botany. In general Biochemistry, his work in Genetic model, Mutant, Vacuole and Transformation is often linked to Cation diffusion facilitator linking many areas of study. His Yeast research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Basidiomycota, Mycelium and Metallothionein.

As part of his studies on Suillus luteus, Jan V. Colpaert frequently links adjacent subjects like In silico. His research integrates issues of Zinc deficiency and Mycorrhiza in his study of Gene. Jan V. Colpaert conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Botany and Agaricomycotina through his works.
